I used to own several guns. Then one day my canoe hit a submerged log that I couldn’t see. Damn thing tipped over with my entire arsenal in it. Can’t believe that log was so close to the surface since the water was at least 100’ deep where the guns fell in.
Not a single legal, stamped and registered gun left. Tragic.
That event is more common than the common cold.
It has happened on multiple times to me and my friends and always in very deep water at night and no one ever remembers which lake, let alone the location on lake whatyoumacallit.
